By: Susan May Warren

Narrated by: Adam Gold, Laura E. Richcreek

There's Trouble in the North...

His secrets could get them killed…

Austen Kingston isn’t impressed with Mr. Billionaire, Declan Stone. Sure, he’s handsome, and has a generous heart, but she is happy with her life as a treasure hunter-slash shark diver. Besides, she’s seen what wealth can do to someone… no thank you.

Except, a routine dive turns treacherous, and she finds herself in need of rescue…

Billionaire Declan Stone can’t stop thinking about the beautiful woman who led his dive team, and frankly, she seems just the kind of woman who isn’t afraid of danger (hello, shark diver!) The last thing he expects is to find her adrift in the middle of the Caribbean…

What she doesn’t know that while Declan appears to be just another wealthy philanthropist, he’s also living a double life…one that could cost him everything. And the last thing he needs is the woman he’s come to care for in the middle of the crosshairs…

But what’s he going to do—leave her adrift at sea?

More…when Austen discovers who he really is, can she fall for a guy whose life means danger?

When his shell game against the Russians backfires, Austen and Declan must survive being lost at sea, dodge international hitmen, and expose a deadly conspiracy.

With time running out and enemies closing in, can they trust each other enough to survive? Or will the secrets they keep drag them both into the depths of betrayal?

Dive into this closed-door, survival, forced proximity romantic suspense, perfect for readers who love their romance with a side of heart-stopping action.

Intrigue

It was great! I was on the edge of my seat the whole time, it was a great story. Love the Bible verses

Compelling story and adventurous journey

I love the characters struggles and exciting twist and turns in the story. I was transported inside their world and didn’t want to leave. Susan is a mastermind!

Excellent mix of suspense and action

I enjoy anything archeology and water so I was intrigued by the description before I started the book and it lived up to expectations! This was the first book I read in this series and now I've downloaded 2 more because this was so well written. Plenty of excitement and mystery! Great performance too!
